PTC v74 Release Thread

Hey Everyone,

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v74 started to roll out today for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S.

If you're seeing an issue or bug after updating to PTC v74:

1) For issues: Go to our Get Help board and search for any existing thread on the issue, if you don't find one, make a new thread. Please add the tag "PTC v74" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v74 issues too.

2) For bugs: If you come across a bug, please post each one you spot in its own thread, to keep track of individual issues separately. Please make sure to also send in bug reports along with posting on the forums if you notice anything going wrong.

Share your impressions in the comments below and let us know if you see any issues.

We know it's tough when you run into a problem on a PTC build and want to thank you all again for testing out PTC and sharing your feedback! This feedback is extremely helpful to our engineering teams. We appreciate your interest and persistence in testing out the core functionality of software as we develop!

TomCgcmfc I've received the v74.1020 (build 5070966.18330.510) yesterdy night on my Q3.
No update for the MetaLink-DesktopApp, which stays at 72.0.0.1105.353.

So I can confirm, nothing other than 72Hz possible, doesn't matter what is set in the app.

SteamLink on the other side, works as it should... but that's not my favorite to do PCVR.

Hopefully they will release v74 desktop app soon!

How to update to it, I'm stuck with v72

Updated to v74 (release version). Quest 2 headset.

When I go into setup - devices - controllers the options for thumbstick angle and thumbstick range and deadzone crash either to the Universal Menu or with the popup "Settings keeps stopping"

Restarting the headset doesn't help.

Unwilling to do a factory reset as these are a waste of time and have never solved any of the problems I have ever had.

How to update?

Join the PTC or wait until the Meta Update Gods deigns to update your unworthy headset.

Meta has been adamant in saying the update rollouts are NOT done by region. Owners of multiple headsets bear this out since their headsets often do not update at the same time.

I compared the version/build numbers on firmware in that Firmware Archive and they are only PTC versions, not the official releases.

And if you try to sideload the firmware from Meta's software update page it will load the version that is on your headset unless an update is available for your headset. In which case you may as well updated it as usual.

I cannot remove games from my list (When I hit the 3 dots and say "remove > Uninstall and Remove from Library", it just keeps popping back up seconds later ON my list. I didn't have this issue with the previous update...

 

I also cannot seem to, for the life of me, access apps from the device owner. Device owner -has- checked App Sharing, but I still cannot access their stuff, and it asks me to install it separately instead? But even then, it still doesn't work, it just says "installing" and does nothing, so I couldn't even try it as a way of troubleshooting.

I can confirm that after the v74 Hot Fix released a couple days ago the 10-15 second repeated stutter issue with PCVR connections has been fixed.

I can also confirm that I have not had any charging issues when I updated to this version.

The fixed version that will show is Build 5070966.18330.510
